First Monday Jazz: Taylor Iman

  • The Arts Lawn 337 East Garfield Boulevard Chicago, IL, 60637 United States (map)

Our beloved First Monday Jazz series is back on the Arts Lawn with Chicago native Taylor Iman!

Hailing from Chicago, IL, Taylor Iman's sultry pop soul is poised to leave a lasting impact on the entertainment industry. Her journey began in high school, where she showcased her talent in local theater productions. A transformative moment came when she was accepted into Disney Dreamers Academy, later becoming both a talent and ambassador for the program.

In addition to her time at Disney, Taylor has made her mark in various television and theatrical productions, including *The Wiz*, *Les Misérables*, PBS, Nike commercials, *The Chi*, Donda, and more. She has been a featured performer on *The Steve Harvey Talk Show* and *The Steve Harvey Morning Show*, sharing the stage with her hometown hero, Michael Jackson, as well as notable figures like CNN's Soledad O'Brien and Lisa Nichols from *The Secret*.

Taylor has graced stages around the globe, from South Africa to the legendary Apollo Theater and Essence Fest. After opening for renowned recording artists Mario and Jordin Sparks, she felt a calling to give back to her community. Today, she delivers keynotes at universities on the significance of lucid dreaming and teaches performing arts to inner-city youth, inspiring the next generation of talent.
